Something about those awkward hand gestures really gets me going.
For no reason at all? No, no, no. For all of the right reasons? Oh, for sure.
Anyone else suddenly itching to blast Nazis in Wolfenstein for no reason at all?

“No reason”
They’re nazis, friend! That’s all the reason we need!
kaosof@lemmy.world 1 week ago
I’ve been punching nazis and Italian fascists (as well as shooting, crushing skulls with heavy objects, blowing them up etc) in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle since around christmas.
It’s a great time.

Why not LARP it?
in4apenny@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 days ago
Because Elon’s balls are nonexistent. At least he still has the heart and brain, however small and hard of a target they are.

Wolfenstein 3D was woke propaganda. At least that will be the official article if Trump and the right get their hands on Wikipedia like they’ve already said they want to.

Also Sniper Elite 4 and 5, and The Saboteur. The Saboteur has boobies and we can all agree on boobies.

I just looked it up, very positive reviews and very cheap. No mention of boobies in the feature list but it has this:
Key features:
- First Ever Open-World Paris
Thank god, FINALLY someone did it.

I suggested we play Sniper Elite 4 to my girlfriend recently. She’s not usually one for shooter games (she’s more of a Stardew Valley/Animal Crossing/Cozy Grove/Coral Island type of gamer), and I wasn’t sure she’d like it. She thought she wouldn’t, but she’s happy to try out a suggestion of mine every once in a while even if she thinks we won’t play it much.
We loaded into San Cellini island and she initially struggled with the controls and how to aim and shoot. The gravity and wind effects weren’t super easy to grasp either (she’s on the Steam Deck as well, making it slightly harder to aim too). She accidentally shot a couple times as I was giving her a quick tutorial, which attracted a Nazi soldier to investigate and try and shoot her (which scared her a bit as she got hit). Off to a rocky start, and I could tell she wasn’t enjoying it at all.
We got to the first tower, where the game gives you a pretty good view of the area and lets you fairly securely shoot a bunch of Nazi soldiers. Time to shoot! Here we learned she gets a bit jumpscared if the game suddenly shows you a slow-motion killcam, especially if I was the one triggering it. Again, not a great start for her.
She struggled, but did hit a couple of them. Then on the 3rd or 4th kill, the game showed her the magic words after the kill: “TESTICLE SHOT”. This caught her completely off guard, immediately exclaiming “WAIT DOES THAT MEAN I SHOT HIS BALLS OFF?!”. I have never witnessed her doing a complete 180 degrees turn on her opinion of a game. Suddenly the game became extremely enjoyable for her. The first time she had a killcam where she could see the Nazi balls pop one after the other was like giving her crack cocaine or something. Total bloodlust.
We’ve played through the entire campaign in a span of two weeks, then the DLC, the overwatch missions (twice to play both roles) and now the survival maps. Every evening after dinner she asks if we can “shoot more Nazi balls”. Her spirit animal is Hugo Stiglitz at this point.
God I love that woman.

Just, uh, be careful if she shows a sudden interest in certain “relationship aids” just in case it was less about what the balls were attached to than the pure act itself

Hmmm, reinstalling Wolfenstein doesn’t sound too bad.
Hadriscus@lemm.ee 1 week ago
I’ve been toying with the idea. So many good memories from New Colossus. It might be linear, it’s such a great story. Not Shakespeare great, but honest b-movie great.

I agree with that. I think it’s time for Terror-Billy to go on a rampage again.

I’ve had some fun Anti-Nazi movies playing while I work-from-home lately, like Inglourious Basterds and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.
CrackedLinuxISO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week ago
I recommend The Dirty Dozen. It came out in the 60s, so you’re not getting Tarantino level gore. However, it gets so close to that line anyway.
spoiler
A horde of Nazis and their wives/mistresses get burned to a crisp and exploded while hiding out in a wine cellar. American soldiers are dropping grenades and pouring gasoline down the air vents.

More and more, I’ve been coming back to Inglorious Basterds as possibly being QT’s best film.
It is just so goddamn good.

There’s a line in New Colossus where he’s in the USA during a parade for the Nazis and everyone is cheering and he says something like “look at them, cheering for their own destruction” and I keep being reminded of it

I was literally googling earlier today to see if there were any updates on the next installment. Maybe it was subconsciously influenced by current events?

Machine games has been working on Indiana Jones for the last few years, I doubt we’ll see anything for a while.

Hold up, so they went from making the Wolfenstein games, to making an Indiana Jones game where (according to people here) you beat up Nazis?

Katana314@lemmy.world 1 week ago
I’d love a new Wolfenstein-style game that diverges from the simple divide of giving them helmets.
It’s simple morbid truth that these people are human beings, who have committed their minds to unimaginable cruelty. It’d be fun to have more games about reciprocating that cruelty.
Mortal Kombat’s fatalities gave me a big ick factor when they leaned into cruelty and pain (and thankfully turned towards looney creativity to be entertaining). But I could see the former being a bit more valid when there’s universal reasoning behind why it’s being applied.
Visstix@lemmy.world 1 week ago
I would suggest Indiana Jones and the great circle as well for this.

Playing devil’s advocate here. It’s probably people who think no matter what, every single life is precious and should be preserved.
damnedfurry@lemmy.world 1 week ago
I doubt it’s that, simply because the OP is not talking about doing anything to anyone in the real world.
zergtoshi@lemmy.world 1 week ago
You expect Nazis and their sympathizers to have a brain and form coherent sentences, huh?
I fear, there are at least some who do and those are even more dangerous than the typical braindead Nazi.

This type of ‘anger management’ is unhealthy and doesn’t even help, short or long term. ‘Blowing off steam’ literally does the opposite of what most people believe it does.

I don’t think they are trying to decrease their anger. I think they are trying to engage in it. Also, people generally do not like being called out, especially during periods of high emotion. Thanks for the link though, fun read! I guess we should go to bed angry ;)
Elevator7009sAlt@ani.social 6 days ago
Genuinely? I think there are always a couple trolls downvoting anything and everything, or people who can’t resist being contrarian for the sake of it. I see downvotes applied to on-topic, factually correct, and completely uncontroversial posts and comments all the time. Same principle could apply here.
Hyphlosion@lemm.ee 6 days ago
I’ve also downvoted things on accident before.
